How to use gfx in pygame

Question

I have a pygame game and I want to use pygame.gfxdraw.aacricle(), but whenever I do it gives me an error:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'gfxdraw'

How do I install gfx for python 2.7?

Answer 1

I had this same issue using gfxdraw in pygame as well. Once I imported the module explicitly, there were no issues. Adding this line after importing pygame fixed the issue:

import pygame.gfxdraw

Curiously, I don't need to import pygame.draw explicitly in order to use it.

Answer 2

Here is the compilation and installation guide for gfx.

For the basic install it's the standard:

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

Or did you already try this and run into some problems?
